I was REALLY hoping that this would be awesome, but now that I read that I'm kind of disappointed. Living right next to a tower, I already get a great signal. Than add on bigger external antennas, I could have a -40dbm signal or better...

Oo I didn't see that! This router just got x10 cooler!

That's what I was thinking too, some where between 18GB-22GB of data. It's a pretty big jump for some people to go from 12GB to 30GB and pay the extra $$ per month. BUT! I do I like that it's Spark capable, which means when it's here and done we could see top general cable speed, or if the 50-60 mbps is possible - business class cable speeds.

I can't answer number 1 for you yet, but to answer number 2 - if you're looking to plug your cable modem in there, it won't work as there is no WAN port to plug in any incoming source. The only thing it does have are the standard 4 LAN ports and USB ports. Here is the link to Sprint for it, they have some decent photos of it. http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop/phone_details.jsp?prodId=dvc8040009prd&deviceSKUId=80400440&flow=AAL&planSKUId=null&tabId=dvcTab1820005&ptn=

I actually went in to see if I could look at it, my usual store (which is not a corporate store) said they will not be getting it in for at least another week or two. But my rep said that it has already sparked interest in the store. My only gripe is that there should be one more data option thrown in where if 12 GB is not enough but 30 GB is too much (or is too expensive). The router itself at good specs and the best part is that it is the next gen AC router which means (if anyone doesn't know) it will be great now, but even better when more AC equipped products are out making everything faster than N routers/products. I do also like the fact that it has two fairly large antennas, so range with this thing should be better than most. This might be the future replacement of my Sierra 3G/4G Wimax Modem and my Cradlepoint MBR95 router. I will post any updates if I get to look at.

I've had nothing but awesomeness with Sprint! Back when basic flip phones were still a thing, I was on Verizon a couple years later I bought a netbook with Verizon service built in. Both purchases I regret - though I like my netbook and still use it - anyways the service I got was overpriced and sub-par for that thing. The netbook was fine for the first three weeks, I got decent speeds on it. After that though it was all down hill, dropped connections and barely got a signal - I guess they decommissioned a local tower. As soon as I could I switched to Sprint (AT&T has no service here) and I'm SO glad I did. Actually I went with Virgin Mobile and my Galaxy Victory is on it, currently my second phone with them. About one year after I bought my first phone from them, I got the Sierra 3G/4G USB modem on a 12GB plan, the sprint rep was so nice she actually asked me if I had any questions about my Victory, needless to say I have a very good partnership with my sales rep now. Just recently I got a Tab 3 strictly for a business tablet - I own my own business and I don't want to keep using my personal stuff for work - I'm really happy with it. I have been spoiled though because I live about 1/4 mile from a tower. Even on 3G I got about .5-1.50 mbps on my phone and 1.25-2 mbps on my modem on the pre N.V. upgrades. Now on LTE I get speeds of 12-25 mbps on my phone and tablet and about 2.5-3 mbps on my modem. Bottom line, Sprint has been there for me both for personal, school and for business. Yes there has been hiccups, yes there has been outages, but every carrier does. As soon as the rest of my towers are upgraded, I will be putting my family and I on the Framily plan and getting a Galaxy Mega, Note 3 or Nexus 5. I am and always will be a Sprint fanboy and supporter.
